hi all
I'm looking for info on the above. they had a son, james born 1807 in cornwall.

james b 1807, married a mary ann martin in Perranarworthal 1828, and Sarah Evans in about 1848.

james came to australia in the 1870's

Vray is an unusual surname, i think, has anyone got an ideas?

regards margaret

Hi Marg b
How do you know Margaret is VRAY ?
Have you looked on Cornwall opc ?
Couldnt find a marraige for Margaret Vray , so they might not of married in Cornwall , or Vray is mistranscribed .

Hi marg b and welcome to AA,

Could James have been born nearer to 1802? There's this baptism with mother's first name Peggy, Peggy is a variant of Margaret.

James Martin, baptised: 26 MAR 1802 Perranarworthal, Cornwall, England, parents: James and Peggy.

*Added, maybe the above isn't yours as I found this marriage: James Martin to Peggy Taylor, 25/6/1793 Perranarworthal, Cornwall, England

Hi Margaret,

I notice James and Mary Ann were both entered as Sojourners on their marriage record, therefore not from the parish of Perranarworthal.

This means of course that they could have been born anywhere and not necessarily in Cornwall, unless you have evidence they were definitely from Cornwall?

hi all
Thankx for the responses.
I got the name Margaret Vray from the death certificate of her son James Martin.
There was a vague thought that Margaret and/or her husband (also James) came from Ireland.
You've certainly given me something to think about

One thing, where is Cornwall Haze? I tried to google, but couldnt find it, is a shortened name?
regards margaret

Hi Margaret
Cornwall is at the end of the British map . Try google Cornwall, England .
